I entered the stall and was startled when the toilet raised it's own lid, lit the bowel in an eerie neon light and said "

I am the Bowl of Christmas Past.." my face went flush at the talking toilet.

"I used to be at your grandparents house!", it said. I recognised it, I admitted. Then, it had a pull chain in the ceiling. That was long gone, thanks to modernisation.

It went from pull chain to clapper to voice recognition capabilities. They were on the cusp of creating one that could read a person's mind. You would only need to think about

turning on the lights. Really, it was a bit underwhelming. The power to read minds, and all it could be used for was illumination? The lights were ecstatic. Finally, they could

Everything needs to rest, and I've been busy enough to take a break.

corner of the jungle where the only screams were the screams of chimpanzees high in the canopy, feasting on fruits and bugs. I would never again return to the city, but would make

a fool of myself swinging between vines like I was Tarzan, pot belly hanging out of my boxers. The chimps called me "Netflix" & spent the day cracking up & pointing at me. AAHHOOOO
